EIFF is all about the buzz and there would be no buzz without our media partners and sponsors. For the best news, reviews and competitions, here’s who to follow this Friday.

If it is your desire to ‘Boogie in the Morning,’ follow Forth One (@forthone).

Creative Scotland (@CreativeScots) is the national body for the development of arts, screen and creative industries and keeps track of all of Scotland’s considerable talent. Doing exactly what it says on the tin, Event Scotland supports and promotes all manner of events and attractions in Scotland.
